mark, add oil until it reaches the "F"
mark. To add oil:
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders.
A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder
wall when a piston moves down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity
and quality of oil, engine rpm and
driving condition etc. The engine oil
is more consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high
speeds and frequent acceleration
and deceleration than normal driv-
ing condition.
